Pros

Benefits. Co workers are the best. I am curious to see how things change.

Cons

Work all holidays even branches located on bases and soldiers are off. Military spouses get no time off with their loved one. Since we work holidays and away from our families daycares close on Holidays and there is no one around to watch kids when spouse does deploy and no one cares. You can’t get all holidays off because that is unfair yet the branches are dead slow!! Expected to wear blazers and slacks but the pay doesn’t cover cost to afford those clothes. Yet call centers get to wear jeans everyday.

Pros

Awesome place and people - complex and large finance operation and balance sheet yet still small enough to make an impact and build up solutions from the ground floor - creative place!

Cons

Sometimes can be stretched for more resources

Pros

Great staff and middle management. Good benefits and facilities.

Cons

Upper Management - same tune as all the other reviews. This place is full of great people who don't know they are great. It's also full of bad leaders who think they are great. Unfortunately, the best performers are often rewarded with carrying the burden of underperformers and non-contributing leaders. In certain teams there is very limited in upward mobility. They are slow to weed out low performers and ineffective managers. All in, strong performers and high achievers might find this place frustrating. This is a place for those who like to coast through.
